Important request about the PharmaCare Tie-in

BCNU has been working with the Health Employers Association of BC to resolve a number of issues that have arisen during the implementation of the PharmaCare Tie-in for prescription drug coverage.

While several process issues have been resolved, we continue to be in discussions with the employer about a number of other issues.

In some cases, the delay in the implementation date of the PharmaCare Tie-in to June 1, 2013 has allowed members to obtain special authority for medications or to transition onto generic medications. However, some members are continuing to have problems with their drug coverage.

BCNU wants to know about any drug coverage issues that have not been resolved through the delay in implementation.

If you are having problems with your drug coverage, please log in or register at the Member Portal on the BCNU website. Please complete the BCNU PharmaCare implementation survey.

If you do not have access to the internet, please call the BCNU PharmaCare Line at (604) 433-2268 or 1-800-663-9991 and press "2".

Please note, your information will be kept confidential and will only be used for the purposes of labour relations activities related to PharmaCare Tie-in implementation issues.

This information is contained in a letter from Lara Acheson BCNU's director of Disability Management and Health and Safety. The letter is being mailed to all members covered
